Tingling In Extremities



Recommended Posts

My B-12 levels are always off the spectrum on my last 18 months of lab results and I don't have any tingling; as OTR says' date=' it's a water-soluble Vitamin and excess should be flushed out with your urine. Is your doctor certain it's the B-12 or just guessing because she can't find anything else wrong?

If it keeps tingling or gets worse, ask to see a neurologist.[/quote']

Thanks for the info- I'm not really sure. But I am certain that I WILL go see another Dr if she can't pinpoint it. This is driving me mad

I will- there was questions about my back and spine- but I have NO issues with my spine. None.

I have two places that send VERY sharp burning pains in my lower shoulder blades every so often- but I'm pretty sure that's just my heavy breasts pulling down on my ever shrinking frame and hurting me.

The Dr said I need to get started with weight training to help that out- and then a breast reduction long term.

So when you had your issue with your spine did you have any pain or anything? I mean we're there any other signs?

Sometimes (rarely) my lower back would hurt a little bit. I would just stretch it out on an exercise ball and it felt better. I just figured my back hurt b/c I was overweight and I teach pre-k so I bend over all day. It wasn't until I went numb and tingly from the waist down that I had any concerns. The numbness didn't stop. It was constant. That's when I had the MRIs to figure out what's going on. Also, even though I found out about my tumor 2 months after my WLS, just wanted to let you and anyone else reading this know that my tumor had nothing to do with my WLS. My tumor was huge and had been growing in my spinal cord and wrapping itself around my nerves for years. Just don't want to discourage anyone from having WLS, b/c the two are unrelated, and if anything the WLS saved me b/c had I not had the tumor removed when I did I would be paralyzed right now. The weight I lost was enough for my neurosurgeon to feel comfortable about removing my tumor w/out going through a lot of fat to get there. But its gone now, I can walk, most of my nerve damage is gone and Im super skinny, so it all worked out. Woo hoo! Good luck! :)

This could be a real problem. Almost every energy supplement on the market today relies heavily on B12.

I know - I'm excited to get into a nutritionist. I never knew Vitamins were such a complex deal :(

I'm not giving up until I find out what's wrong

I'm 2 weeks post op and my right leg from the tigh to my knee goes numb and tingles.

I experienced this a few years ago and the Dr. put be on potassium too. It seems liek its just not a Vitamin we get enough of, plus it is not in most mutivitamins.

Trying taking 2-3 potatssium pills (you can buy them at Walmart, cvs, etc.) for a few days. Worked for me.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
